@@kacejohnson4099 You know not of what you speak. Being ejected is only for that game unless a suspension is issued, which is rare unless someone gets physical...
I would have never heard of him had I not moved to Pittsburgh, bug Greg Brown is seriously the most underrated play-by-play guy in the game. He and Bob Walk paired together is the best thing.
There's video on RU-vid of a Cuban baseball game and the umpires called the game due to something the players were doing and the players actually cut off the umpires and blocked their way out. They had to get escorts out because they actually thought the players were going to hurt the umps
Never in the majors. Nobody will risk their careers. If a major league player would to punch an ump, that player would spend the rest of his career playing ball in Venezuela, or some other shithole.
@@BigSkyCurmudgeon Once awhile back, for some reason, Lou's wife was interviewed about one of his rants and she said "I'm 43 years old and married to a 4-year old" 😂
McClendon taking first base with him is the only one that would even compare to an average run of the mill ejection in the 70's. I remember some of the heavier managers would do belly bumps on the umpires.
4:10 “Don’t think that phone’s gonna work no more” *Everyday, thousands of phones are thrown, smashed, and abused. They don’t deserve the treatment they receive. By donating, let’s end this phone abuse today!*
Human error in officiating is what makes this game fun and interesting. Too many sports are so fucking roboticized now.....MLB is getting that way. I hate it.
You showed the David Ortiz “check swing strike” twice, and also when David Ross was trying to stop the ump from running up to the mound, nobody was ejected
Umps vs managers. Players in the corner like a pro wrestling manager. You can only get involved if the referee doesn’t see it. If it’s MLB umps refereeing, they’ll never see anything!
I couldn't tell you where or when, but I have seen a umpire reverse an ejection. From what I remember, the manager of the opposing team got ejected instead.
Funny thing, I’ve been a Red Sox fan for over 50 years whose been to many games at Fenway during Ortiz’s career (I was at the game Jose Conseco pitched and blew out him arm) and only remember 1 of those ejections. He was a “spirited” player but my impression of him is that you really had to get under his skin to set him off….although he hated umpires that called a bad game behind the plate.
@@chrispyateonetoo don't discredit an argument without making your own. Basically saying "lol I disagree" and leave it without context or a counter doesn't help anyone.
The umpires err just like the players. They’re human. I’d love to see a manager go nuts when one of his players commits a fielding error! That would be an awesome highlight reel!!!
Ortiz was in this video getting ejected like 5 times but the announcer says "I've never seen him this upset". lol must not be watching whole lot red sox games!!
High hot take: The goal of every player after being ejected for frustration is to be as dramatic as possible to make headlines and further sell their merchandise
Yeah, in a lot of cases, a manager will tell the umpire in advance that he wants to get ejected (most often to protect his players) and that he's not really as angry as he's making himself out to be. So the manager will put on his little show, get run and it will be the end of it. No hard feelings between him and the ump.
Such has been an issue (some may wish to characterize as a 'pet peeve') since the advent of "instant replay" Yes, of course, naturally, we appreciate seeing the play itself ; that which was the cause for celebration, controversy, dispute, etc. HOWEVER, if one does not show any or very, very little of the aftermath of events captured on film/video etc. then so much is lost ( whether it be the reaction of fans, teammates, opposition players and coaches etc.) For example, when a home run reel is screened and even in instances wherein a particular ball hit traveled a record distance or whatever ...if we simply have captured, visually, shot after shot of a baseball flying over a fence or being deposited into the stands and then an all too abrupt cut to the next clip without any context what is the point? There really isn't much there then to distinguish the footage from countless other similar to near identical samples without a multitude of reaction shots from individuals among the crowd to broader pans around the field and stadium to lend texture etc. While things have improved only slightly over more recent years(this is due likely to the proliferation of cameras, technological advances and so on and NOT the development of a greater appreciation among documentarians for how to better record and capture key along with more mundane moments for posterity) it is still insanely frustrating when I watch a collection of highlights/low-lights etc. only to find that most include only the most basic record of the "moment" itself and almost nothing , as I say, from the event that would help set the scene apart from myriad others like it.
Well, if you ever touch an umpire, there are HUGE consequences. Multiple week suspensions, which in baseball could be upwards of a dozen games in peak season.
That's one thing that I don't agree with dude with these fucking umpires you can't do anything you can't throw your helmet on the ground you can't disagree with them yell at them its a fucking joke I'm not saying to hit them physically assault them I'm not saying that at all but these fucking umpires especially Vic car pazza and Angel Hernandez I can't fucking stand those cock suckers
I remember once when jhapp was pitching for the Blue Jays I don't remember exactly what happened but he put his glove over his face because he did not agree with a call and the Umpire was just stoning him it's like he was waiting for Jay to say something so he can throw him out of the game and Russell Martin looks back and tells him put your fucking mask back on
i was in my uncles 1973 volks wagon station wagon in 1983... coming back from the park with my cousin when george brett was getting thrown out on the a.m. radio... ..that barely ...picked up a signal...it s hot that day. when we got home is when he got thrown out.
My favorite part of baseball is we can now accurately track the location of every pitch and we still rely on an umpire and his ego to decide these games.
How can you have a best of ejections without Earl Weaver, he was the master of ejections and showing up an umpire... mainly because he knew the rule book better than they did!
in little league many years ago i was catching and the umpire was leaning on my shoulder. i told him to stop it several times. i went to throw down to second and he was still leaning on my. i told my manager that he was pushing me down, but got no support. well couple batters later a high pitch comes in and i didn't try to catch it hit the umpire right in the face mask . I was thrown out of the game and the next two games...my father beat me after the game so bad i could not have played anyway
